Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

School Specialty is recalling approximately 6,000 Classroom Select NeoRok Stools, including about 1,350 stools that were previously recalled in June 2015. These stools, designed for classroom use by children, can break during use, which poses a serious fall hazard. Nine incidents of the stools breaking have been reported, including one case where a child suffered a concussion. The affected stools are 18 and 20 inches tall and were sold in 12 different colors through various School Specialty catalogs and websites between May 2015 and November 2015 for approximately $105 to $115. School Specialty is offering a full refund or merchandise credit for all recalled units.

Risk

The plastic structure of the stool can break unexpectedly while a child is sitting, tilting, or rocking on it. This failure can cause the child to fall suddenly to the floor, leading to impact injuries such as concussions.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using all 18-inch and 20-inch Classroom Select NeoRok Stools, including any stools you received as replacements during the previous June 2015 recall.
  2. Check the base of the stool to confirm the product identity: the 'Classroom Select' logo should be printed on one side and the name 'NeoRok' on the other.
  3. Verify the item number for your stool; the 18-inch stools are item number 1496340 and the 20-inch stools are item number 1496342.
